Beschreibung
Essays and glosses on (mostly) timeless matters. The book by a university educator and writer presents a mosaic of essays and glosses on (mostly) timeless matters. The author reflects on questions of law, justice, ethics, and morality. He comments on societal topics of current events such as globalization, multiculturalism, populism, and the issue of democracy. However, his favorite topics include books and literature, to which he dedicates a chapter containing glosses on books selected by the author. The author considers the legacy of the French humanist Michel de Montaigne particularly valuable, whose reflections he projects into his own conclusions about the values and meaning of contemporary society. Some of the published texts appeared in Literární noviny, Revue Prostor, and Lidové noviny, and the author adds more unpublished texts in this book. The author's aim in selecting these was to present reflections that are still worth reading today due to their timeless themes.
